Miss You Nana

Hey!
I was so sorry to hear that Mrs. 'Stelle had passed. I remember especially talking with her on her way home from work as I waited for my Paratransit rides. She was always updating me on what Dawn (ie) was doing at College--her games and when she was coming home. Mrs. 'Stelle was a hard worker--always pleasant and kindly-natured. She used to chat often with my mom also.
My condolences to Dawn and her siblings--and I think of the neighbors in the "4th block" and others in Rosen who knew Mrs. 'Stelle.
My prayers are with you, as I know from experience...losing a mom is a rough experience, to say the least.

From Donna Winder
